As far as I can see, Matthews was wrong, now he's DEAD wrong. The cop's family has my condolences. I know it's a terrible time for them.

Thanks for the post, dcwusmc.

Matthews had no "inalienable right" to violate the legal prohibition against driving without a license. Admit it.

Seeing that "hijacking the thread" is in your imagination, I can't comment.

BTW, that old "unclean" quote is dredged up, out of context, every time somebody can't make a rational comeback to my comments.
It's becoming a silly tactic.

I hate to be taking the same side as Eastforker here, but in NY and NJ the county and state police removed the bubble lights from police cruisers. The trouble was motorists would see the bubbles in the distance and slow down. The state/counties wanted more money so they removed the bubble lights from the cop cars thereby making it more difficult to spot the cruisers. Speed limits in this part of the country are ridiculous with 55mph being the most common. Nobody drives that slow around here. Traffic enforcement IS used for revenue collection.

Though the scum bag who shot Patrolman taylor should rot in hell.

Did Matthews have an "inalienable right" to violate the legal prohibition against driving without a license?

Quit dodging the question. A simple yes or no will do.

Folks not to make anyone mad but the problem with our country is its leaders.They use people like officer Taylor like a pawn and he did his job out of concern for his fellow Americans and his belief in the system.He should not have to and will not have died in vain if we all awakwen.

It is not the government's fault that Matthews murdered Officer Taylor.

Well, you have to claim that traffic laws violate your "inalienable rights" first.

If you (scum sucking defenders) have a problem with this, feel free to freep-mail me and I'll be glad to give you my address so we can have a face-to-face chat about it.

I share the same mindset as you. However, why insult the "scum sucking" be comparing them to this tripe? ;-)

Dream on roscoe, -- that you will some day have the power to frame the questions, and force the answers.

Since I personally don't believe that it is constitutional to require licences for driving or to allow agents of the state to harass drivers peacefully going about their buisness, I'd have to say yes, it is wrong to stop a driver for simply driving, and not harming anyone.

That makes no sense. A drivers license is not required for driving on private property. But it is required for the public roads.

I could drive my late uncle's old deuce-and-a-quarter on my grandma's farm in Arkansas at the age of 8. No harm, no foul. Now place me on I-40 at 8.

See the difference?

"The question really is; when will you [roscoe] snap and kill someone?"


Backwards. I reject your ideology.
- roscoe -

Exactly the point. - You reject that men have inalienable rights. You advocate that authority can violate such rights.

When will your attitude lead to someone being killed?

Matthews had no "inalienable right" to drive without a license, notwithstanding the ignorant nutjobs who claim that licensing laws violate the Constition.
